casestatus.in Summary

Summary: The Supreme Court allowed the State of U.P.'s appeals on February 27, 2002, holding that reservation under the Uttar Pradesh Public Services (Reservation) Act, 1994 can be applied to Professor posts in universities, but must be implemented on a subject-wise basis rather than clubbing all Professor positions together as a single cadre. The Court directed that no reservation can be granted for isolated posts and that the Vice Chancellor must follow the government-notified roster and principles established in R.K. Sabharwal's case when issuing fresh advertisements and conducting selections. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
